Transparency, Integrity, and Trust — From Code to Production

Chainguard combines best-practice supply chain controls: minimal, continuously verified container images;
signatures and attestations; policy-as-code; and continuous risk monitoring.
Reduce your attack surface, accelerate audits, and meet regulatory demands (e.g., NIS2) without slowing delivery.
Ideal for organizations building on containers and Kubernetes, running mature CI/CD, leveraging open source,
and enforcing Zero Trust across the SDLC.

Key Solutions

1. Chainguard Images

A catalog of secure, minimal (often distroless) container images maintained and continuously verified for CVEs.
Each image ships with a signature (e.g., Sigstore Cosign) and an SBOM.

💡 Value: Dramatically fewer vulnerabilities, a smaller attack surface, and faster base updates.

2. Supply Chain Security Platform

Full visibility of builds, dependencies, and artifacts with cryptographic provenance verification (in-toto/SLSA).
Automatically sign and verify every pipeline step and track who/what/when for critical artifacts.

💡 Value: Integrity guarantees for artifacts and compliance with SLSA level 3+.

3. Automated SBOM & Provenance

Generate and distribute SBOMs (SPDX/CycloneDX) and attestations for every release,
versioned and stored as build artifacts, with CVE and license mapping.

💡 Value: Faster audits and alignment with NIS2, ISO 27001, and customer/regulatory requirements.

4. Policy Enforcement & Continuous Verification

Define and enforce policies that control which images and artifacts are allowed to run.
Require signatures and attestations in Admission Control (e.g., OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno) and registries.

💡 Value: Block unverified, tampered, or vulnerable images before they reach production.

5. CI/CD & Cloud Integrations

Ready integrations with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Google Cloud Build,
major registries (GHCR, GCR, ECR, ACR), and Kubernetes.
Validate in PR/MR with policy-as-code.

💡 Value: Security built into delivery — without friction for developers.

6. Open-Source Foundations

Built on Sigstore (Cosign, Rekor), in-toto, and SLSA — standards developed with Google and the Linux Foundation.

💡 Value: Transparent, open, community-backed approach aligned with industry best practices.

Why Chainguard

• Secure-by-default — minimal images, smaller attack surface, fewer CVEs.
• Proof of trust — cryptographic signatures, SBOMs, and attestations for every artifact.
• Compliance with SLSA, NIST 800-218 (SSDF), CIS, ISO 27001; supports NIS2 requirements.
• Continuous verification — policies and controls from build through Kubernetes runtime.
• Enterprise-proven — chosen by organizations with stringent regulatory and security needs.
